During the operation, everyone was so excited that they almost jumped up when they saw her trying to nod her head.

Xiaoli, 20 years old, is not only a girl who loves beauty, but also obsessed with dancing. However, it seems that God played a big joke on her: not long ago, she often had headaches. Not only that, she always felt powerless when dancing. Her originally graceful dance posture also became stiff.

Persuaded by their friends, they immediately went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

When they saw the results of the examination, they burst into tears. The doctor diagnosed that she had a tumor in her brain. The tumor was the cause of her headache and weakness in her lower limbs.

However, what further plunged them into grief was that the doctor told them that removing the tumor was very risky. The biggest risk was that it might damage the motor function area of ​​her brain. Not to mention dancing, even walking normally might be a problem.

From the doctor's explanation, her friend felt that the doctor was not shirking responsibility, but that it was really difficult. So, after she sent Xiaoli back to the ward, she went to the doctor's office again and told the doctor about Xiaoli's life story.

It turned out that Xiaoli was an orphan since she was young. She was adopted by a rag-picking grandmother and finally grew up to be more than ten years old. However, the kind grandmother unfortunately passed away. After that, she could only eat from one family to another. When she was able to make money, she returned to school and studied dance.

Xiaoli's experience moved everyone, and the hospital decided to invite a top neurosurgeon to perform surgery on this inspirational girl.

However, things got complicated again. After looking at the film, the expert was also a little embarrassed. He pointed out that Xiaoli's tumor was close to the "central sulcus" in the brain that controls the movement of the human body. This location is an "absolute forbidden zone" for neurosurgery. This means that this area must be avoided. It can be said that this is an operation that will fail if there is any mistake.

The surgery itself is one aspect that the expert is concerned about, but he is more concerned about anesthesia. He admits that the reason why he has achieved certain results in the field of neurosurgery is inseparable from the support of the anesthesiology department. If the anesthesiology department did not accompany him in performing difficult surgeries, he would not be where he is today.

After learning about his concerns, the anesthesiology department immediately responded: We will fully cooperate and do our utmost to ensure the success of the operation. In response to the expert's request for "intraoperative awakening", the anesthesiology department also immediately formulated a corresponding plan.

On the day of the operation, the scene was quite spectacular: due to the limited number of people in the operating room, only necessary personnel were allowed to stay. Other visitors could only watch the live broadcast.

Why do so many people visit? On the one hand, everyone wants to learn some key procedures when a great expert performs the operation in person; on the other hand, this type of operation is hard to come by. Especially the awakening during the operation, many people have only heard about it in the news.

In order to reduce airway irritation, the director of the anesthesiology department boldly adopted laryngeal mask intubation. Compared with endotracheal intubation, this can significantly reduce the patient's discomfort. The purpose of this is to reduce anesthesia and wake up during surgery.

When the operation is performed near the motor area of ​​the brain, the expert must accurately identify whether the brain tissue belongs to the motor area and ask the anesthesiologist to resuscitate the patient. The key to this process is that the patient is not in pain and has a clear consciousness. Once the patient is very conscious, the surgeon will give instructions and ask him to move the corresponding fingers and toes to ensure that the operation will not damage these areas.

Soon, under the precise control of the anesthesiologist, Xiaoli's EEG signals became stronger and stronger.

With a command of "open your eyes", Xiaoli slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the look in his eyes, it seems as if he is asking: Is the operation completed?

The anesthesiologist quickly told her: The operation is in progress, and now she must follow the surgeon's instructions in order to observe and determine the functional areas of the brain.

Since sufficient communication had been conducted before the operation, Xiaoli understood it quickly and nodded hard.

Seeing this situation, everyone was very excited and almost jumped up.

Subsequently, under the surgeon's instructions, the important tissues of the brain's functional areas were successfully identified.

After this crucial step, the anesthesiologist put Xiaoli into anesthesia again.

Some people may ask: Will waking up during surgery leave painful memories?

This is not the case. During and after the procedure, the anesthesiologist will deliberately add some drugs that cause amnesia. After completely erasing this part of her memory, she will not feel any pain.
